I Will in Me Politics: The Maurice Hickey Diaries Pat Shortt

It's rare that a political diary of such significance comes along. The O'Brien Press is proud to announce that Councillor Maurice Hickey has agreed to share his experiences in this informative and insightful account of his political exploits.

Councillor Maurice Hickey is a leader in his community, the man who gets things done. And what needs doing in the parishes of Killdicken, Honetyne and Glengooley mostly relates to blocked drains, mad dogs, parish festivals, clerical appointments, over-zealous guards and the occasional romantic dalliance.

Global events are not the concern of this councillor or his constituents. Looming large over the political and personal life of Councillor Hickey is the Mother. She is his spin-doctor, cook, inspiration, conscience - and his fiercest critic!

A hilarious account of local politics from Pat Shortt's legendary creation, the esteemed Councillor Hickey. This diary could be described as an invaluable piece of social history by people who know nothing about it. If you enjoy watching a man wade through one self-made mess after another, then this is the book for you!

I Will in Me Politics Bewertungen

'A book! A book! Is that what you call it? I wouldn't use it to kill bluebottles. Why should I read about that useless looderamawn?' -- Mrs Hickey (The Mother)
'Our teacher used to say Maurice always had a way with words. The rest of us just called him a feckin' liar. ' -- Pa Quirke, Postman
'This book is written by a man who rarely pays for his own porter. Please buy a copy and it might encourage him to buy a round. But if I were you I wouldn't bother my arse reading it, 'tis a load of sh**e.' -- Tom Walshe, Publican
'A masterpiece of comedic writing - an irreverent chicken-soup for the soul, that will cheer you up, no matter what's going on in your world' -- The Clare Champion
